So I basically watch no TV unless I do it while I do some other more physical task simultaneously like baking, ironing, sewing, working out etc. That really helps to stay focused on whatever I watch!
Eating poorly is also something that affects my mood much more than I ever thought was possible. Recently I've read a lot about how much the gut and therefore our diets affect our nervous system and our emotional state. If you have any fresh fruit or veggies and maybe a herbal tea in the house, I'd cut up a small bowl of fresh bell pepper, apple, cucumber, orange, whatever you like and sip on a herbal tea. That often helps me to feel a bit refreshed again after eating too much junk.

Hope you feel better again soon!
